Some parents find that finding the appropriate person to help them out with their kids is almost as challenging as raising their kids. Whether you're having a rare date night or you need someone around every day while you work, there are a lot of factors to consider: is your childcare provider reliable, a good influence, and somebody you can trust your child's safety with?

It can be stressful to find nannies and babysitters, but nonetheless, there are sometimes limits to what you can expect when you are looking for one. This is something one mom completely ignored and subsequently faced internet infamy for after she placed an extremely demanding advert while looking for a nanny to take care of her four kids. Requiring things such as a master's degree and for the applicant to have no social media, she also only wanted to pay them $200 a week. Doubtless she didn't get many responses.

    Desertedbeach @desertedbeach • 5d Replying to @ask_aubry . That's not a babysitter - she wants a nanny, cleaner and chef. Babysitting is watching TV and eating chocolate while the kids sleep and the parents go out for an evening.

    Patricia K. McCarthy... ❤ @PKMfantasies Replying to @ask_aubry Follow People get the kind of people they're willing to pay for and this individual is clearly out of touch w/ reality Just maybe, like back in the late 70s, you could get away with paying someone $5.50 per hour. Minimum wage in Ontario, Canada is $17.50 per hour, not including overages for babysitting - Lordy! She hopes to get an avid-cleaner? In my experience, most of us are reluctant cleaners, resentful cleaners, lazy cleaners, pr

    Taxidermy_bat_218 @218Taxidermybat Follow Replying to @ask_aubry This is why I was a nanny of 6 kids (I think, been a long time) at 13-14. Bc adults can't afford to take these jobs. I would walk a few blocks to my nanny job where I watched the kids and made them easy meals and picked up their toys after they played. But they actually Want an adult with a Masters degree now. But I was a kid too. If anything went wrong, I could always call my mom for help.
